This certificate is designed for individuals who are interested in developing skills to create and manage databases. It will provide the student with the tools, knowledge, and practical experience needed to design, develop, program, implement and administer a database. Graduates will be qualified for the high demand positions of Advanced User, Developer, Analyst, Administrator, or Programmer in a database environment. The Certificate of Specialization is designed to parallel the courses in the Oracle Developer Certificate of Proficiency. This certificate can be an intermediate affirmation of success for a student or provide a quantitative benchmark for those who do not need the additional course material provided in the Certificate of Proficiency. Advanced users, management, and programmers could select this shorter while still intense certificate in database techniques.
